And we have the specs of two Samsung Monte phones we briefly talked about earlier today… not that Samsung actually mentioned them at their Bada/Wave event – we got the info from a PDF file in the press kit. Without further ado, here’s what to expect:
Samsung Monte Slider (E2550)
- Dual-band GSM/GPRS (900/1800 MHz)
- 2-inch QVGA display
- 1.3-megapixel camera with video recording capability
- Media player, social networking app (Facebook), FM radio
- Bluetooth 2.1
- 12 MB of internal memory, microSD card slot (up to 8GB)
- 800 mAh battery
- Dimensions: 98.5×48.5×14.35 mm / 85.5 grams
Samsung Monte Bar (C3200)
- Quad-band GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)
- 2-inch QVGA display
- 2-megapixel camera
- Media player, FM radio with recording, music recognition
- 3.5mm headset jack
- Bluetooth 2.1
- 40 MB of internal memory, microSD card slot (up to 8GB)
- 960 mAh battery
- Dimensions: 111.8×46.9×13.3 mm / 77.3 grams
In a nutshell, both Monte Slider and Monte Bar are low-end handsets which will probably be offered in emerging markets, big time.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
